Following on from the excellent Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, director Matt Reeves' War for the Planet of the Apes picks up two years after the US military started a devastating war between humans and apes. When Caesar's ape clan is violently attacked by rogue paramilitary faction Alpha-Omega, he abandons any goals for harmony and embarks on a brutal mission for revenge. Darker, smarter and highly compelling, War for the Planet of the Apes offers a complex and satisfying conclusion to Caesar's story.
